Rearranging
The equations above can be rearranged to make t the subject. We will use the equation for charge:
They can also be rearranged to make RC (time constant) the subject:
| Section 7 | Force on a Current Carrying Wire | |
|---|---|---|
| Lesson 11 | ||
| Learning Outcomes | To be able to explain why a wire with a current flowing through it will experience a force | |
| To be able to calculate the size of the force on the wire | ||
| To be able to state the direction of the force on the wire | M.BENYOHAI |
We will be looking at the force a current carrying wire experiences when it is in a magnetic field.
Before we look into the size and direction of the force we need to establish some basics.
